House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Jin attacks Michael, the wreckage on the beach beside the wheels is seen behind Sun, as she shouts at Jin. When Jin is handcuffed the wreckage on the beach differs, there is noticeably much more in that area. (00:05:15)
10th Jan 2006
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Sun's left earlobe has a cleft, but while Jin is still cuffed to the wreckage, Sun watches Michael head off through the trees (to cut firewood) and in this close-up it is Sun's right earlobe with the cleft. The shot is flipped. (00:28:40)

House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: After Jack brings some survivors back to the cave, there is a shot of Hurley turning on his CD player to listen to Willie Nelson. In the next shot of Jack, as he fills bottles with water, his large tattoo is on his right upper arm, but normally it is on his left. The shot is flipped. (00:39:40)
10th Jan 2006
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: As Kate and Jack head back to the beach, while Jack explains why they should move to the caves, when Kate lifts the bag and slings it round her shoulder, opposite sides of the bag face out between the first and second shots. Then, in the third shot it hangs from her shoulder very differently. (00:22:15)
10th Jan 2006
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Jin comes home, he heads straight for the bathroom and washes blood off his hands. Blood stains on his white shirt change between shots, including one rather large blood stain on his right sleeve which disappears. (00:20:20)
10th Jan 2006
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer asks of Boone, "So how does it feel?" Boone sits with his knees up and his arms crossed over his knees, but in Boone's close-up he sits normally with legs down, arms uncrossed. Then, as Sawyer walks away Boone sits just as in the first shot. (00:40:15)
9th Jan 2006
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Jack sees the casket, things lying on it change between shots. When he flips it open the ripped interior lining differs in the following shots, depending on camera angle. Then, as Jack destroys the coffin, the broken wood differs greatly between shots. Such as when the shot faces the coffin the entire top is destroyed, but when facing Jack the side frame remains intact. (00:36:35)

White Rabbit - S1-E5
Audio problem: While Claire is lying down, just after she says, "Our only hunter's gonna get eaten so he can get the pregnant girl some more water," we hear Charlie say, "I wouldn't worry about that," but his lips just begin to open mid-sentence, and he certainly doesn't say that. (00:24:40)
9th Jan 2006
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack is precariously hanging over the cliff, the thick safety wire attached to the front of Jack's waistband is quite visible in a few shots, as he moves about. One such instance is two shots after Locke says, "Take my hand." (00:21:35)
9th Jan 2006
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Jack, Hurley and Charlie discuss water situation, the suitcase filled with water bottles repeatedly changes. One example: when Charlie carries the stuffed suitcase, then sets it down, it is open just a couple of inches, but when Jack walks away the suitcase is bursting with bottles, and is open at least 18-20 inches. (00:10:00)
8th Jan 2006
Visible crew/equipment: As Sayid swings upside down in the trap, the black stunt suit is visible at his back where his shirt is pulled up, and the outline of the stunt device is visible under the front of his shirt. (00:03:20)
8th Jan 2006
Continuity mistake: When Sayid is pulled upside down in the trap, he swings toward the tree and is stabbed by the branch. It is an entirely different branch in each of the following shots: first - when he is stabbed, second - when it sticks out of his thigh, third - when he pulls it out. (00:03:20)
8th Jan 2006
Continuity mistake: When Sayid steps into the trap, in the close-up of his feet he removes his right foot, and the left remains on the ground, inside the closing rope. However, in the next shot as he's lifted in the air, it's his right leg that is caught up in the trap. (00:03:15)
6th Jan 2006
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Visible crew/equipment: While Jin is cuffed to the wreckage, Sun points to her wrist and explains in Korean, but Sayid shouts, "The cuffs stay on!" At the start of the next shot, a crewmember's arm is seen holding the reflector screen to Sawyer's left, as he makes a sarcastic comment. (00:09:30)
5th Jan 2006
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer find the deceased crash victims underwater, as Sawyer takes the man's wallet and heads for the surface the corpse's tie floats up freely, his suit jacket is pulled way up, and his legs are spread apart. Yet, when Sawyer and Kate go back for the case, the neat tie and suit are on properly, and now the corpse's legs are suddenly crossed, albeit in a twisted sort of way. There are other changes in both the female and male corpses' positions between shots. (00:05:20 - 00:05:50)
5th Jan 2006
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer happen upon the lovely waterfall, Sawyer removes his shirt and he has the bandage tied round the stab wound on his upper arm. When underwater, there is a different dressing on his arm; it is snugger, with no ends - most likely an elastic type to stay put during the underwater shots. (00:02:50 - 00:04:15)
5th Jan 2006
Trivia: In the midst of withdrawal, the third time Charlie asks Locke for his stash Locke finally hands it to Charlie, who stares at the bag of heroin. On the DVD commentary, Dom Monaghan remarks that while he holds the bag of heroin (really brown sugar, but hey) he's "doing a Gollum" - using Andy Serkis's portrayal of Gollum, and his desire for his "Precious" as the basis for Charlie's intense need for the drug.
5th Jan 2006
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: After Jin is pulled off Michael, when Sawyer removes the marshal's handcuffs from his pocket there is a very short link chain dangling - about a couple of inches. However, when Jin is cuffed to the wreckage the link chain is considerably longer - about a foot. (00:06:15)
5th Jan 2006
Continuity mistake: Jin is handcuffed in season 1, "House of the Rising Sun" and the cuff remains on his left wrist until season 2, "What Kate Did" when Locke removes it. The handcuffs have a distinctive shape - a single strand connected via pivot to a double strand with the lock area. When Jin is initially cuffed to the plane wreckage, the single strand faces out at his wrist, but in following shots, in this and all the subsequent episodes, the handcuff actually switches sides repeatedly, going round his wrist the opposite way.
5th Jan 2006
Continuity mistake: In numerous shots of individual characters, while on the island, the sweat stains on their clothing significantly and repeatedly change, or disappear and reappear between shots.
